Roswell Incident

Roswell, New Mexico, experienced an incident that shocked not only the residence living there, but also the world. The conjecture of the situation is that an extraterrestrial aircraft had crashed landed near Roswell. Theory has is that pieces as well as the actually aircraft was found with passengers inside. The nearest military base contained all the evidence. Along with other phenomenon’s, and incidents similar to Roswell’s there are people who are going to support, and doubt what actually happened that day. After reading the newspaper article in company with eyewitness reports and doing my own research on the topic, I do believe that there was a UFO saucer that crash-landed in Roswell.

On July 8th, 1947 Roswell Daily Record, the local newspaper, published the article, “RAAF Captures Flying Saucer On Ranch In Roswell Region.” The article begins by stating, “The intelligence office of the 509th Bombardment group at Roswell Army Air Field announced at noon today, that the field has come into possession of a flying saucer.” Exposing the situation so quickly didn’t sit well with the armed forces containing the object. There wasn’t an adequate amount of time to determine whether or not the aircraft was indeed a UFO saucer. The very next day an edit had been made to the original article headlining, “Harassed Rancher who Located ‘Saucer’ Sorry He Told About It.” Then explaining later that the mysterious object was in fact a weather-observing balloon. Even though Mac Brazel, the man who recovered the object, had clearly stated, “I am sure that what I found was not any weather observation balloon." Creating a circumstance that has many people thinking if the Army Air Field was trying to hide the truth.

Eyewitness to the event Mr. and Mrs. Wilmot, who were simply enjoying the night sitting on their front porch, noticed in the distance a large glowing objects traveling at a high speed. As

    In early July of 1947, most likely around July 4th or 5th, something crashed to the Earth in the high desert of eastern New Mexico (Carey & SChmitt, 2009). Mac Brazel, a ranch hand on the J.B. Foster ranch, went to check on his sheep one morning after a series of severe thunderstorms. He was concerned about the wellbeing of his cattle because he heard a very loud explosion the night before during the storm. Upon riding out to the pastures, Brazel discovered a huge amount of strange debris scattered across the fields. Not knowing what this strange debris was, Brazel gathered some of it and showed it to his friends…

    The cunning space agency that has a long line of conspiracy theories surrounding it may be telling the truth this time. But they may be lying about the balloons destination. Maybe it isn’t a weather balloon at all. NASA may be sending this super high-tech bag full of air to space. With UFO enthusiasts spending every waking hour watching live feeds from the ISS, it would be hard to pass any secret alien messages. The “weather balloon” could be headed for space. It could be some UFO linkup device that aliens will intercept in space and than send it back to Earth. From space. It may sound insane. But we should all ask ourselves why NASA is being so open about this project?…

    Area 51 Conspiracy Theory

    • 1037 Words
    • 5 Pages

    But to the reluctance of the government to address the claims of extraterrestrial activity, the conspiracy theories grew popular through the 1950s to the present. A poll showed that 57% of U.S. citizens believe that UFOs are real, therefore, beliefs in UFOs will not quickly dissipate. But recent evidence and personal accounts provide logical arguments with support to show that the claims of extraterrestrial interactions with the U.S. government in Area 51 is not true. Rather the lights and unidentified flying objects reported by people near Groom Lake were prototype aircraft that were being designed to aid the U.S. in the Cold War against the Soviet Union. The reports of UFOs only happened after the testing of experimental aircraft throughout the 1950s and 1960s, thus the correlation between the testing of the prototype planes and reports of UFOs verify that it was the aircraft tested by the U.S., not aliens flying over Area 51. The testimony by Robert Lazar is contested by retired service members who worked in Area 51 and Lazar’s questionable credibility. While there is no proof to support the conspiracy theories surrounding Area 51, people still believe and argue that the government has fabricated stories and that aliens do exist. But with no tangible…

    Head of NASA, Charles Bolden states that extra-terrestrial life must exist, but there is none hidden in Area 51. Area 51 is a site in the Nevada desert of America that tests aircraft and weapon technology such as the U-2 spy plane. Countless conspiracy theories have derived from Area 51 due to the secretiveness of the US government. An example of which is the apparent hiding of extra-terrestrial bodies recovered from the supposed UFO crash in Roswell, 1947. Due to a lack of evidence and excessive amount of conspiracies, it is unreasonable to believe that Area 51 is housing extra-terrestrials (The Telegraph, 2015). Society should be against the belief of Area 51 housing aliens because it is based on conspiracy theories and the American government…

    A National Geographic survey states that 77% of the population believe that aliens exist and could have visited the Earth. Over “80 million Americans, or 36% of the population, believe UFOs are real” (Live Science Staff). 68 years ago the nation was captivated by supposed reports that a UFO crashed on a ranch in Roswell, New Mexico. This subject has always been debated between the military and the public for years. In 1997 “the military released a 231 page report [hoping that all the rumors would stop]” (Peyser 1). Yet, the public still doubt the truth of the military report about the Roswell incident because there were several different stories that happened. I believe that a UFO could have landed, but that will never know the truth given…

    One in paticular that seemed interesting was in an articale titled, "What Really Happened at Roswell" by Kal K. Korff. The first few sentences of his article are, "According to much widely held public opinion, the United States government successfully recovered the remains of a crashed UFO along with its extraterrestrial occupants near Roswell, New Mexico, in July 1947. In what is now known as the “the Roswell incident,” the U.S. military is said to have quickly covered up the affair and continues to shroud it in extreme secrecy even today" (Korff). He is stating that it was a government cover up. That it was possibly, truly an alien spaceship, and that the government overed it up, to stop panic, and since it was during the Cold War, to keep their secrets safe from Russia.

    In Ashland, Nebraska, on December 3, 1967, Herbert Schirmer, a 22 years young patrolman, was making his usual rounds. He had checked the Ashland Sales Barn, and several gas stations along Highway 6 when he noticed what he thought were red lights on top of a large truck. He had just passed through the intersection of Highways 6 and 63 at about 2:00 AM.He drove the short distance down 63 and stopped with his headlights shining on the object. According to Schirmer, the object was definitely not a truck. The red lights that he had seen were blinking through the oval portholes of a metallic, oval-shaped object that was hovering at a height of about eight feet above the road's surface.The object appeared to have a polished, aluminum surface and had a sort of walk around it. It had a structure underneath, like a landing gear.As he watched, the object rose into the air with flames coming from underneath. It passed almost directly over Schirmer's patrol car, then quickly shot out of sight.Schirmer returned to the police station, noting that it was now 3:00 AM., which surprised him because he felt that only ten minutes had passed. At the station, he made this entry into his logbook:"Saw a flying saucer at the junction of highways 6 and 63. Believe it or not!"Afterward, Schirmer developed a red welt on his neck, a headache, and he began to feel ill. Word of Schirmer's sighting was related to the Condon Commission at the University of Colorado, which investigated UFO reports.Schirmer was asked to come to Boulder, Colorado. At Boulder, on February 13, 1968, he was hypnotized by psychologist Dr. Leo Sprinkle of the University of Wyoming.Under hypnosis, Schirmer recalled that, after he stopped his car near the object, the engine died and his radio went silent. A white object emerged from the craft and seemed to communicate mentally with him, preventing him from drawing his gun as he was want to do.After the hypnotic session had…

    UFOs have been a controversial mystery with endless question marks. Were those sightings real? What were they then? Do they belong to aliens who visited planet Earth? When the authorities are not able to make satisfying responses or avoid explanations, the root of cause of government UFO cover-up conspiracy grows. These conspiracy theories would be still as strong as long UFOs are unelucidated . That means, once the unexplainable matters become explainable, theories become unstable and more likely to tumble. Explainable UFO sightings and the activities within government restricted area, as well as conspiracy theorists’…
